Happy Meow-lloween

 

Hello Crafty Friends!

Welcome back to my Studio! 

I hope you followed me here from my old blog! It was time for a new look,  a little change, a new Blog home and just because... a new Studio name too! 

So, before I jump into the Winter/ Holiday Season, I wanted to share one more Halloween card with you!


Sweet & Spooky…

Today, I am using Ink n' Splatter's Sweet & Spooky Stamp Set once again because there are so many cute images in this set to play with!
 

Kitty Pumpkin…

Here’s my “Kitty Pumpkin” from Ink n’ Splatter’s “Sweet & Spooky” Stamp Set.

(Inspiration Motivation) I grew up fearing cats because I was told they were scary and untrustworthy. But, as an adult, I grew to LOVE them and have had few of my own over the years.

Today, I get the pleasure of being "mommy" to my son's adorable, yet feisty, gorgeous calico. She's a crazy cat and I LOVE her so much! 

I try to incorporate them in many of my illustrations and Halloween is a fitting theme to add a few!


Halloween Pattern Paper…

I also cut out a few different Halloween inspired pieces of Spooky Nights Pattern Paper and Wonky Halloween Pattern Paper for this Halloween card.



Happy Meow-lloween…

I the stamped “Happy Meow-lloween” from the Sweet & Spooky Stamp Set and cut it out with a ragged edge cutter. 

I love to use cute little puns with cute images...it brings many smiles!



Sparkle…

I finished off my card with a few little coordinating sequins to add some Sparkle and interest! 

I hope I have inspired you to simply create something Fabulously Fun & Heart-Warming to bring you, or someone else, a little bit of joy for the moment.

Always Take Time To Smell The Flowers



Hello crafty friends!

Welcome back to my Studio!

Today, I’m back with another colorful card I created using Ink n’ Splatter’s “Beary Wishes” Stamp & Die Set and our new “Honeycomb” Stencil



I don’t normally create CAS cards. I actually love the ones that are done well and with a purpose. I just don’t think about creating them because I seem to have an uncontrollable urge to keep building on my cards..ok I said it!


Well, slap my hand and make me stop here! Even as I look at my card I see many other opportunities to ass and build! Which is why, I used this Honeycomb stencil to create a few more cards (coming soon) where I gave into my addiction!

Technique…

I ink blended my background using the Honeycomb stencil and distress oxide inks (full supply list below) and I colored my Bear image with comic markers.



Always Take Time to Smell the Flowers…

I stamped my sentiment, “Always Take Time to Smell the Flowers” from the Beary Wishes Stamp Set.



There are several sentiments in the Beary Wishes Stamp Set but I chose this one because it seems fitting at the moment.

It reminds me to live in the moment because every moment is precious!



I hope I have inspired you to simply create something Fabulously Fun & Heart-Warming to bring you, or someone else, a little bit of joy for the moment.

Mimsy & Everly




Hello Friends!

Welcome back to my Studio!

Today I am sharing a sweet friendship card!

Mimsy & Everly…

So, for my card today, I am using the adorable duo, “Mimsy & Everly”, one of my digi stamps from my Digi Doodle Studios and the flower elements from “Bumble Garden” Pairables Digi Stamp Set.

Coloring…

I sized, printed and cut my images out with my die cutting machine. Then I colored them with Copic Markers (full supply list below)

Background…

For my background, I decided to color blend and stencil using oxide inks.

Once I blended my colors and finished the stenciling, I sprayed my background with water droplets and set it aside to dry.

In the Meantime…

While I was waiting for my background to dry, I die cut a couple of super cute, stitched scallop frames.

If Friends were Flowers…

I printed my sentiment, “If Friends were Flowers, I would Pick You”, from Digi Doodle Studios “Budding Friends”.

Then I cut it out using a stitched banner die.

Card Base…

I thought about bringing more color out around the stitched frames, but I didn’t want to detract from my image or blended background, so I simply cut and folded a piece of white cardstock and attached it behind my frames.

Putting it All Together…

So now that my blended background was dry, I splattered it with drops of white ink and attached the stitched frames over it.

Then I attached my images and sentiment strip with double-sided adhesive.

I added a few glitter dots and my friendship card was finished.

I hope I have inspired you today to try something new, or simply create something Fabulously Heart-Warming to bring you, or someone else, a little bit of joy for the moment.

Happy Crafting…

Slow Down & Enjoy



Hello Friends!

Welcome back to my Studio!

Today I am sharing super cute shaker card with you!

Pond Life…

So, for my card today, I am using “Pond Life” from my Ink n’ Splatter Clear Stamps…

With 4 adorable frogs, 2 sweet turtles, many coordinating elements to create super cute scenes, cute little bugs, small chicks, and 8 pond inspired sentiments, this set id packed full of creative possibilities for all occasions, all year round.

Stamping & Coloring…

I stamped these lovable pond dwellers on white marker paper with black hybrid ink, colored them with Copic Markers (full supply list below),

Then I cut them out using the Pond Life coordinating dies and set them aside to work on my background and shaker window.

Card Base…

For my card base, I cut and folded a piece of white cardstock to form an A2 size card.

Background…

And, for my background I used one of the coordinating patterns from “On the Pond” Paper Pack

As you can see, there are many coordinating designs to choose from!

Shake Shake Shake…

If you follow me at all, you already know I LOVE shaker cards!

They are so fun, colorful, creative, irresistible and of course, I could go on but…I’m sure you can fill in your own blanks 😉

So, for my shaker window, I die cut a rectangle from white cardstock and then I die cut a square from the rectangle to give it a polaroid picture look.

The dies weren’t stitched, but I always enjoy a good stitch look, so I took this opportunity to add some stitch dots around my de cut polaroid with a coordinating color.

Stenciling & Blending…

Since I’m using the cute little frog peeking up from the water for the center of my shaker, I decided to carry a water look behind the frog by stenciling some waves on a piece of white cardstock.

Then I created a t well with double-sided adhesive to hold my shaker bits and sealed it by adding a piece of clear acetate behind my polaroid opening.

Slow Down…

On a separate piece of white cardstock, I stamped my sentiment, “Slow Down & Enjoy Your Day” with a coordinating color ink…

…and then I die cut it out with a super cute, stitched banner.

Putting It All Together…

I cut my pattern paper slightly smaller than my card base and attached it with double-sided adhesive to give my card a little dimension.

Then I placed my shaker window on a slight angle toward the upper center of my card, also with double-sided adhesive.

Once my card base was set up, I added my images on and around my shaker window with dimensional foam.

Then I attached my banner sentiment toward the bottom of my card and added a coordinating-colored enamel dot.

and with that, my “Slow Down & Enjoy” Pond Life card is finished.

I hope I have inspired you to try something new, or simply create something Fabulously Heart-Warming to bring you, or someone else, a little bit of joy for the moment.

Beary Happy Wishes



Hello Friends!

Welcome back to my Studio!

Today I am sharing a sweet card I created using Ink n’ Splatter Clear Stamps

Beary Wishes…

You may have already noticed this card sample in Ink n’ Splatter, but I haven’t had a moment to blog about it until now.

So, for this sweet card, I used “Beary Wishes” Stamp Set and coordinating Die.

With 4 adorable cuddly bears, several coordinating elements, and 7 bear inspired sentiments, this set brings many creative possibilities all year round.

Coloring…

I stamped these lovable bears on white marker paper with black hybrid ink, colored them with Copic Markers (full supply list below),

cut them out using the coordinating dies and set them aside to work on my background.

Background…

For my background, I die cut a stitched rectangle and stenciled in some clouds along the top portion using distress inks.

On the lower portion of my stitched panel, I layed in some grass using Copic markers, but left a white space at the very bottom to stamp my sentiment.

Sending You Beary Happy Wishes…

For my sentiment, I chose “Sending You Beary Happy Wishes” from the Beary Wishes Stamp Set and stamped it with black hybrid ink on the lower right portion of my stitched panel.

Card Base…

For my card base, I cut and folded a piece of Kraft cardstock and attached a piece of pink cardstock on the front of the card.

Then I die cut a piece of Ink n’ Splatter pattern paper to fit my background panel and attached them using double-sided adhesive.

I also die cut a super cute fence from white cardstock and placed it, and my bears, in the center of my background scene with foam adhesive.

Pattern Flowers…

I die cut some flowers from the same pattern paper as I used for my card panel and dotted their centers with small beads.

Because my card is an A2, I didn’t want to clutter my design, so I only used one of the flowers on the upper left corner of my card. I also cut a few thin pattern paper strips, curled them and attached them under my flower.

I added a few enamel dots beside my sentiment and my card was finished.

I hope I have inspired you to try something new, or simply create something Fabulously Heart-Warming to bring you, or someone else, a little bit of joy for the moment.
